First of all a big thanks to Tjwong for the hook up on all the parts at jobber rate. That and many questions over the phone to make sure that I am not over looking anything. Here is the start of the build. All machine work performed By Somers Racing engines. Buddy that owns Super tune is putting the thing together. Ok the build up
ZZ4 4 bolt High Nickel block.
4340 Eagle ESP Crank balanced and Polished.
4340 Eagle Esp 6" H beams rods
Srp Forged piston.
Saved $350 Right there by going though TJwong :yesnod: If all goess well I will post part 2 tomorrow.

Pretty as a picture.
Word to the wise, I don't care which shop you're using, THEY NEVER EVER finish ANYTHING when they say they're going to. Just how it is! Be patient and it'll be worth it. Looks good! Hope to see some 11.50's at more importantly NICE TRAP SPEEDS! :cheers:

I hate to play the guessing game on numbers. I will wait and post a time slip in the spring. That engine stand is a monster. :yesnod:
